Sons. Mothers. A veteran. These are the victims killed in Saskatchewan’s stabbing rampage

Four days ago, the tragic loss of life during the shocking stabbing attacks in Saskatchewan was captured only by a two-digit number.

On Wednesday, police named all 10 of those killed during Sunday's rampage. They include a 23-year-old, a first responder, and an expectant father who had nothing but opportunities in life.

The police list of the deceased didn't include the name of Damien Sanderson, who police were initially seeking in connection with the attacks along with his 32-year-old brother, Myles Sanderson, who was taken into custody at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

Damien's body was discovered in high grass near one of 13 crime scenes being examined by police on Monday, raising the total number of dead to 11. There were 18 people injured during the attack as well.

Bonnie Goodvoice-Burns, 48

Goodvoice-Burns was remembered by her brother, Mark Arcand, during an emotional press conference in Saskatoon as a hero" and someone who always put other people before her."

He remembered Bonnie and her husband, Brian Buggy" Burns, as having a home filled with love and laughter. Arcand called his sister a true matriarch" who looked after people.

She was killed at the house where her boys were, alongside her 28-year-old son and a crisis response worker from the community who came to help, he said.

Greg Jonesy" Burns, 28

The son of Brian, Greg Burns was a father of two, and was expecting a third child when he died on Sunday, said Arcand.

Arcand had to pause when, during the Wednesday press conference, he referred to Greg instead of his moniker Jonesy."

This is how it is in our country," he said. It's all about relationships. It's all about family. It's all about nicknames. It's all about laughter."

Arcand described the 28-year-old as a young man that helped build houses in the community, who took care of his family, and who had nothing but opportunities ahead before he was killed.

He was fully employable, he had lots of tickets and opportunities," said Arcand. He was a great kid."

Christian Head, 54

Head was also an honorary member of the Freedom Riders' ATV club, which operates out of Big Island Lake in northwest Saskatchewan.

Finally," he wrote, some good news."

Sanderson had been suffering from health problems, related to his liver, one friend noted, and Sanderson posted numerous photos to his social media account of hospital waiting rooms.
